LAFACE Laboratories

Runway-model-turned-entrepreneur Lisa Alexander founded this luxe line after realizing that all her professional jet-setting was taking a toll on her skin. She spent six years developing LAFACE (Lisa Alexander Face) Laboratories. Based in Northern California, LAFACE focuses on technology involving plant stem cells--not surprising, given that Alexander comes from a fifth-generation agricultural family and grew up on a farm outside of Davis. LAFACE debuted in late 2011 and has been amassing a cult-like following from both men and women ever since.
